Dr. Mindy Pelz

We were taught that doing anything "like a girl" was a weakness. Dr. Mindy Pelz is here to prove it's your greatest strength.

A renowned advocate for women's health, Dr. Mindy is passionately committed to helping women embrace and trust their body's natural healing processes. Drawing on an extensive background in women's health, she's developed groundbreaking, science-backed approaches that help women work with their hormones, not against them, through every stage of life, from cycling to perimenopause to the wisdom of the years beyond.

On Live Like a Girl, Dr. Mindy helps you come home to your own body. Every Monday, she sits down with some of the brightest minds in health and wellness for honest, meaningful conversations that hand you the knowledge, tools, and science to do health your way. No more pushing through, gaslighting yourself, or shrinking to fit. Just permission to live in rhythm with the body you were designed to have and to finally feel at home in it.

Press play, and let's live like a girl.

The Resetter Podcast with Dr. Mindy Pelz

After five years as The Resetter Podcast, everything changes. Welcome to Live Like a Girl.

In this first episode, Dr. Mindy Pelz explains why she retired a name she loved and what she's building in its place. The truth driving it all: women aren't thriving, and most of the health advice out there was never written for us to begin with.

She opens with the numbers on Alzheimer's, depression, anxiety, cancer, and heart disease, then digs into why the science behind "evidence-based" wellness has left women out, and why fifteen-minute doctor visits and almost no nutrition training can't fix it. From there she lays out the five principles that shape this whole new season: mindset matters, regulate first, honor your rhythms, everything is health, and collaboration over competition.

It's a conversation about the body, but also about culture, conditioning, and finally taking up space. A preview of what's coming this season, including Suze Orman on money and wellbeing and Frank Anderson on trauma and metabolism.

Live Like a Girl - The Truth About Women's Health We Need To Talk About

After 30 years in health, Dr. Mindy is calling time on the rules.

This solo episode is one of the most personal things she's shared on this podcast. It covers two big ideas: the science and story behind why she stopped fasting for most of the past year and the five health habits she's deliberately walking away from in 2026.

First, flex fasting. When cortisol is high from grief, trauma, illness, perimenopause, or chronic stress rigidly pushing through long fasting windows doesn't support the body. It depletes it. Dr. Mindy shares what happened when she lost a close friend and found herself in an acute stress state, what the research says about prolonged fasting and the HPA axis, and how she developed a new approach she's calling flex fasting: a more intuitive, body-led way to use fasting as a tool without turning it into a rule.

Then the five things she's giving up: counting (macros, biometrics, followers, all of it), the gym, other people's urgency, productivity over health, and information overconsumption. Each one is a direct response to what the wellness industry has quietly done to us — turned health into a full-time job with a performance review.

I Stopped Fasting for a Year - Here's What It Taught Me (& Other Habits I'm Giving Up)

Lately, it feels like women are carrying more than ever, mentally, emotionally, hormonally, and neurologically.

In this week’s conversation, Dr. Mindy sits down with internal medicine physician and brain health expert, Dr. Austin Perlmutter, to talk about what modern life is doing to our brains and why so many people feel overstimulated, foggy, anxious, disconnected, and exhausted.

Together, they discuss:

 • Why chronic stress changes on the brain
 • The impact of ultra-processed foods on mood and cognition
 • Why women in midlife are especially vulnerable to burnout
 • How nature helps regulate the nervous system in minutes
 • How inflammation and depression can lead to Alzheimer’s
 • Why simple habits matter more than most people realize

One of our favorite parts of this conversation was the reminder that healing doesn’t always need to be complicated. Sometimes the most powerful changes are the ones that bring us back to how humans were designed to live in the first place.

The Food & Stress Crisis Keeping You Chronically Unhealthy (& How to Fix It) with Dr. Austin Perlmutter

GLP-1 medications are changing the conversation around weight loss, metabolism, and women’s health. But are we asking the right questions about long-term health?

In this solo episode, Dr. Mindy Pelz breaks down the science behind GLP-1 drugs like Ozempic, Wegovy, and Mounjaro, including what they do well, where concerns are emerging, and how fasting mimics many of the same metabolic benefits naturally.

Dr. Mindy explores:
 • The connection between GLP-1 drugs and muscle loss
 • Why women over 40 need to think differently about metabolism
 • New research linking GLP-1s to declining bone density
 • How fasting impacts glucagon, ketones, and fat burning
 • The importance of protein, refeeding, and resistance training
 • Why metabolic flexibility matters more than rapid weight loss
 • Natural ways to stimulate your body’s own GLP-1 production

This episode is not about fear or shame. It’s about helping you understand your options so you can make informed decisions for your body, your hormones, and your long-term health.

GLP-1s, Fasting, and the Future of Women’s Metabolic Health

Caroline Alan, co-founder of BEAM Minerals and author of the new book The Mineral Reset, joins Dr. Mindy to unpack why minerals are the missing foundation of every health plan, and why you can eat organic, take supplements, and still be profoundly deficient. 

They go deep on glyphosate, the "Trojan Horse method," and why fulvic and humic acids are the only molecules on Earth that can go inside your cells and carry glyphosate back out.

If your hair is falling out, your sleep is off, your energy is low, or you're cramping for no reason, this conversation may be the missing piece.

In this episode:

 • Why eating organic is no longer enough for mineral replenishment
 • The symptoms of mineral deficiency most people never connect to minerals
 • How glyphosate mimics glycine and what that does to your sleep, collagen, and nervous system
 • How fulvic acid goes inside your cells, delivers minerals, and carries glyphosate out
 • What humic acid does in the bloodstream and why it supports autophagy

Why Supplements Aren’t Working (The Secret Deficiency No One Is Fixing) with Caroline Alan

If you've been trying to figure out what's actually happening with our food system right now — what's rhetoric, what's real, and what you need to know, this is the episode you've been waiting for.

Award winning food journalist, Helena Bottemiller Evich has covered food policy in Washington for over 15 years. She's the founder of the Food Fix newsletter and the host of the new podcast American Dish, and she has a rare gift: she can separate the noise from the action in a news cycle that makes both very hard to tell apart.

The 'F' in FDA Is Silent" — The State of Food Policy with Helena Bottemiller-Evich

If you’ve ever felt like you were failing at something you were supposed to be naturally good at – this conversation will set you free.

Elinor Cleghorn is a feminist historian and the author of A Woman’s Work: Reclaiming the Radical History of Mothering, and in this deeply personal, wide-ranging conversation with Dr. Mindy, she unpacks one of the most important questions of our time: why has motherhood been so diminished, misunderstood, and so weaponized against the very women who do it?

From the myth of the perfect maternal instinct to the constructed guilt that has silenced women for centuries, from the empty nest to the role of fatherhood in healing the masculine wound, this conversation goes everywhere. It's equal parts history lesson, permission slip, and love letter to every woman who has ever given everything to raising a family and wondered whether she was doing it right.

Spoiler: you were.

A Woman's Work by Elinor Cleghorn is available in bookshops and online now. Find Elinor on Instagram at @elinorcleghorn.

The Hidden History of Motherhood Nobody Taught You (And Why That Was Deliberate) with Elinor Cleghorn

The anxiety hits at 3am. The spiraling thoughts won't stop. You know logically that everything is fine, but your body won't believe it. And the more you try to think your way out of it, the worse it gets.
 
Jessica Ortner is a bestselling author, co-creator of The Tapping Solution app, and one of the world's leading experts on EFT tapping — a technique that combines ancient acupressure with modern psychology to send a direct safety signal to your nervous system. And in this conversation with Dr. Mindy, she unpacks exactly why perimenopause and menopause create a perfect storm of nervous system dysregulation, and how tapping can interrupt the cycle in minutes — no therapist, no appointment, no special equipment required.
 
Dr. Mindy's fasting tapping meditations are available in The Tapping Solution app. And Jessica's new book — The Tapping Solution — is available wherever books are sold.

Tapping for Perimenopause: How to Stop Anxious Thoughts, Break Self-Sabotage, and Rewire Your Nervous System with Jessica Ortner

We've had a lot of important menopause conversations, but nobody's given us the manual for the gut until now.
 
Cynthia Thurlow is a nurse practitioner, host of the Everyday Wellness podcast, and author of the brand new book, The Menopause Gut. And in this conversation, she and Dr. Mindy pull back the curtain on one of the most overlooked and misunderstood pieces of the entire menopause puzzle: the estrobolome.
 
This conversation is a must-listen for any woman in perimenopause or beyond who feels like she's doing everything right and still not feeling better. It's also essential if you've ever taken the pill, struggled with gut issues, or wondered whether your mood, sleep, and waistline might have more to do with your microbiome than your hormone panel.

The Menopause Gut: How Your Microbiome Controls Your Hormones, Mood, and Metabolism with Cynthia Thurlow

If you've ever felt like the self-care conversation has become just another "to-do list," this episode is going to change everything.
 
Dr. Melissa Sonners, author of The Connection Code, and a dear friend, walked me through the most practical, science-backed, and genuinely achievable approach to self-care I've ever encountered. Just two minutes, three times a day – and a completely new way of understanding what your brain actually needs.
 
We dig into the five brainwave gears we move through every day, why most of us are stuck in a high-beta state from the moment we wake up until we crash at night, and how to use simple, free tools to give your nervous system the reset it's been craving. 
 
If you've ever said "I don't know how to relax," this one is for you.
